Earlier today we got our first look at the new Armani promo photos for Spring/Summer 2011 that feature female celebrity spokesmodel Megan Fox. In that post, we learned that Armani decided to ditch former male celebrity spokesmodel Cristiano Ronaldo and replace him with tennis star Rafael Nadal. Right now we get to check out Nadal‘s superhot promo photos for Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans.
This is Nadal’s first time baring it for the cameras. He has endorsed Nike in the past but this is the first time, he’s bared his impressive body for a fashion brand. The top seeded tennis star had some spicy shoes to fill. He replaced sexy soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo as brand spokesperson. Before Ronaldo, soccer icon David Beckham had been the body of the brand since 2008. Becks has since started his own line of underwear.
Wow! Rafael Nadal looks HAWT, y’all! I mean, I’ve always known that he was hot but … yeah, he looks really good in these photos. To offset the sexy hotness, here are a couple behind-the-scenes photos of Nadal on the set of his photoshoot:
See, now these photos are just cute. HMMM … hot and cute … I can see the reason why Armani decided to hire the man to sell their clothes. I am SO loving this campaign thus far … I can’t wait to see more.

He looks like Jerry O’ Conell! WTF? Like, a younger version, of course…and beefier too. I think it’s a downgrade, bro.
I’ve been expecting these photos for a good while now. He did a better job than I’d expected. He looks ultra hot!
he’s better looking than ronaldo! but no one can replace beck’s bulge! hehe
His hair is soooo much more touchable than Ronaldo’s. He looks much better!
Trent! You’re killing me! We haven’t heard a peep from you about the new MTV version of Skins! I’m a huge fan of the UK original and very skeptically watched the first ep. Now there’s a – not surprising – hoopla brewing. I’m sure you’ve heard that the “Parents Television Council” is calling the US version “the most dangerous show ever for children” – wow.

Would love to hear your take on this.

Long time Seattle Wa fan : )
@H — The pilot ep sucked, I couldn’t even be bothered to blog about it. I’ve been voicing my opinions on Twitter tho.
muuuuch better then CR
not a fan of Nadal, but I think he looks really good in this shoot….doesn’t look like himself AT ALL! (probably why I like this shoot)
Yum!
Le sigh.
I liked the jeans one better than the undie one. He looks uncomfortable in the undies picture but so smoldering in the jeans. My friend said he looks like that guy from Airwolf whatever his name is. Jan Michael something…
despite the photoshopping, these pics look more realistic (and hotter) than CR. i can’t wait for more.
